Bay Area News Group Music CriticI’ve got some news that will thrill local Phish-heads: The acclaimed Vermont band will play three San Francisco Bay Area dates this summer. Specifically, I’m being told that Phish will perform Aug. 5-7 at the UC Greek Theatre in Berkeley.
That’s the first confirmed batch of dates in what should be another monster summer for the group. These Greek shows should be among the toughest tickets of the season – the Greek holds some 8,000 fans, as opposed to the 22,000 that can fill Shoreline (where Phish usually plays in the Bay Area).
I don’t have any details as to on sale dates or prices. But that will come whenever Phish finally announces its tour. I can’t wait for these shows.
